Abstract: The paper presents results of three-dimensional discrete element method (DEM) simulations of axisymmetric undrained tests on loose assemblies of polydisperse spheres using a periodic cell. In the work reported, undrained ...

Abstract: The paper deals with the seismic stability assessment of two existing earth dams in Italy using a fully coupled effective stress nonlinear approach implemented in a finite-element (FE) code. The mechanical behavior of the ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the structural behavior of uncorroded as well as corroded RC T-beams strengthened in shear with either externally bonded (EB) carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets or embedded CFRP rods. ...
